    So, it turns out that you have to buy a weekend camping ticket and a separate campervan ticket. The weekend camping ticket is €170...and the campervan ticket is another €80...!? WTF?! Campervan owners clean up after themselves and don't leave tents and ****e behind. Ridiculous pricing.

    But is not just 80 per campervan? so if you have four people it would only cost 20 each

    So this is basically a new type of Oxegen festival, although the lineup is definitely more indie based than mainstream, the reason I say this is that Bitch Falcon posted it on Facebook and it said MCD Presents. This could also feck up sales for Body&Soul which happens the weekend after.

    It's a hard rock/metal festival, Body and Soul is not. Never forget the reaction to Gary Numan doing a full on industrial set there, the festival Honeys didn't know what to make of it.

    Heh. I always wondered how old Numan done at a festival like that. 90% of the crowd showing up for Cars and hearing Gary blast over an hour of his - brilliant - "it's the 90s and I've listened to The Downward Spiral" music.

    True. I'm going on my own though. The fact is, campervan fields are, generally speaking, spotless after a festival so there's less overheads involved in clean up afterwards.

    Gigs '24 - Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball (Gomez), The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Smashing Pumpkins/Weezer, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Stendhal Festival, Forest Fest, Electric Picnic, Ride, PJ Harvey, Pixies, Public Service Broadcasting, Therapy?, IDLES(x2)

    I tried to get into Deftones but they sound so boring to me, I think they only are popular because people listen to them stoned and everything sounds better when drunk or stoned. I will be at Download Festival that afternoon enjoying Skillet.

    Eh no. Listen to the first 3 albums. If that dosen't grab your attention nothing will. Start with the first, Adrenaline, see if that's boring.

    Deftones are unique they cover a wide range of styles and are pretty experimental album to album but they keep their sound easily traced back to them, once you hear the like of Skillet are a Christian rock band you know before you hit play its going to be easily digestible American radio rock, nothing wrong with that of course but to me I know which I'd tire of quicker. :)

    This guy is beyond a joke. Gave him the benefit of the doubt at the start. Complete clown.

    Complete guesses : Steel Panther, Incubus (probably too big/expensive), Jimmy Eat World, Therapy, Stiff Little Fingers.

    Yeah, they're all plausible shouts. Killswitch are doing Download, and Steel Panther and Alter Bridge will also probably end up doing it. Darkness had sold out shows here recently (the Cork one was, at least) and are on somewhat of a minor upswing in terms of their novelty appeal.

    You can fit a handful of tents and a dozen people in the space of 1 campervan though, it's expensive but campervan tickets have basically always sold out at festivals so they're going to keep charging a premium

    About as good as you could have reasonably hoped for. Those top few bands flesh it out very nicely indeed.

    We've got ourselves a metal festival.

    Funny story about The Distillers, well, Brodi anyway.

    Think it was around 2005/6 and i was at Donington, had a backstage pass, now it was a bog standard pass, no access to bands dressing room areas.

    At end of the night was drinking with a couple of mates, one of whom is my oldest pal from school and is very big in the rock scene in uk, he had a mate with him who i never knew, this mate said fcuk this, we'll go to the free bar, he had an AAA pass and could escort 3 others through.

    We went into the band area, Brodi was sat outside her dressing room so i got a beer and sat down, she was completely and utterly twisted, crying constantly saying that Josh hadn't called while one of her crew kept reminding her of time zones. Glad she seems to have cleaned herself up.

    Also a few minutes later Steve-O and Pontius totally trashed Electric Six's dressing room which was amusing to watch

    They've definitely got the bands anyway. Hopefully they can pull the rest of it together.
